Mini 2293: Death Note. Postgame!

[MegAzumarill]

There's room for it I suppose Kawaii said they'd lay out a case for it no?

You can give "Why STD Is Kira" too, it will be good to have a perspective of someone who isn't me

I don't really think they are though. I'm about at

Most Likely Kira
Gimli
HPE
STD
Kokichi
Least likely Kira

[MegAzumarill]

There just isn't a lot of evidence to the contrary is the issue with them being on the list.

I feel I know what the evidence that STD is not Kira is, but it will help to list/give the evidence since Gimli believes STD to be Kira

I thought I was your biggest scumread? What changed?

Are you sure about that? I could be Kira.

Are you sure about that? I could be Kira.

Kokichi really trying to convince me of Koki Kira

[Gimli]

im clearing hpe from being specifically kira as well

[Kokichi Oma]

Oh boy, I wonder where this leads?

[Gimli]

Spoiler: reading into vanderspew

its a lot of work. but there's some reads we can get out of this to come to a solve:

I thought kokichi might have been scum for the vote on black for the call for skill claims, but his response to me asking about it felt null

I get that sometimes the follower will throw some shade at kira so it won't look obvious, but you'll note how vanderscamp does it unnecessarily throughout the game. he really likes shading kokichi this game and I don't think you wanna go around shading your kira.

more importantly than me being wrong about your behaviour in that game,

So you admit your reasoning was wrong, but you think that I was trying to buddy both of you. I was going to vote StD until he reminded me I did that in Haunted, you were there that game so you should know I tunneled him all day 1 when we were both town. As for you, I don't townread you, I was just seeing if you'd do the same thing you always do.

All pushes on me are towny

Mafia too hard

VOTE: kokichi

You did this when I voted you when we were both town, so I wanted to see if you had the same reaction. Not if I was automatically going to think you were town for it.

If you didn't think he was town, and you phrased it as ""unvote," you did the same thing as town, I wanted to see if you would do the same thing as you did when you were town and you did," why wouldn't you clarify that that's not a town read?
Because it obviously looks like a town read.

this looks too strong to be pushing your kira with

Either way, i think Gimli is just hyper focused on me cause I had him completely fooled last game, or that could be just a facade. Not important right now.

VOTE: Azu

Why is it not important?

these are mean spirited questions, he wants to scumread koki with this

starting to have doubts on kokichi

gimli, why malakittens?

Thoughts on kokichi?

you wouldn't gamethrow by highlighting your kira to people, would you?

Okay it's independent of me. Then okay. And I don't think we're going to vote out Kawaii today anyway, so no point.

I'm actually just going to look through iso's and stop trying to defend myself cause my back and forth with you is distracting me too much.

I am extremely down to daykill Kawaii.

I don't like the fact that Kawaii has never responded to me calling out that post I thought was scummy, or asked me about my vote.

At this point a daykill on Kawaii doesn't feel necessary.

Sinking into background is feeling more and more like a scum thing to this one but even if we condemn them in a day or two it honestly doesn't think it would be worth it especially for the detective reveal. And then there's the aspect of when you wait multiple days, the gamestate and what we know and who's scummiest will change. Condemn now = Total gamble, condemn later = We don't even know if we'd want to at that point.

Thus if you want Kawaii dead NOW, vote them.

Though again this one prefers dragging the game days out for max discussion and analysis.

Besides the bold part. What is this even saying? Seems like you're talking just to talk. The first post that's not about me is like you're trying to sound like you're saying something without saying anything.

I'll retract my scum read on your Kawaii defence then if you hadn't seen this post.

The game will not end if Kawaii is elim'd, I'm pretty sure.

Why?

Because I think he's town

Can you explain why?

Okay it's independent of me. Then okay. And I don't think we're going to vote out Kawaii today anyway, so no point.

I am voting them.

I also don't understand this defence, this feels very follower to Kawaii Kira esque.

Why does this feel very follower to me = Kira esque?

Because I don't think HPE's post makes any sense at all, you could basically sub in any name for yours and the post would be exactly the same. The only place HPE talks about you specifically is mentioning that you have been scummy.

this is probably too strong to be a push on kira

I would like some thoughts from players not named Gimli. Do we think this post could come from Kira or nah?

Spoiler: For kira's eyes only

You should definitely swap with me so I can kill people with the death note tonight.
I known it seems silly but consider the following pros and cons.

Pros

- If I am VT, it frames me and you appear innocent.
If I am a Kira follower, I would kill a townie and you would be fine.
If I am a power role, I'm likely killing a townie instead of whatever I'm supposed to be doing.
The frame is permanent.
It would be funny.
Literally noone would believe you actually did this and I would likely be limmed tomorrow for claiming it happened, assuming I am town.

Cons

There is an incredibly low chance you die to your own Death Note, although this would be a funny outcome.
You don't choose who dies n1.


Pros seem to be outweighing the cons here.
And I got my fanciest pen <3

Yes, I think it's the kind of thing Meg could have thought of before seeing their role.

thats potentially good for meg, but its thin.

I see you're keeping up with voting everyone to make yourself seem not sure again.

This reads as fake

again throwing too much shade at kokichi

I was potentially moving to Mala/kokichi/std today until that post, there's just no way

I think koki is spewed not kira here.

I mean if you are are follower you would want to defend gimli, and he would have no way to know it is you?
Are you not defending gimli's case on you?

It's plausible imo, I don't really think it's reality.

I am defending since I feel it's genuinely town, I want to eliminate who I see as town so I can find Kira, I don't see Gimli as Kira, I was down to eliminate Gimli at one point when he was pursuing me but my mind changed as his mind changed on me...
I see why you see why you think I might be Gimli's follower, yeah,
What do you really think is reality? I want to eliminate Kira

To be honest, I'm not sure
It's a tough game
Gut says it's a slot not getting high attention (Std/Mala/Vander/HPE) But I townread most of that list to some degree

Wow, you townread that list?
Because I don't think that's a very towny list of players at all and I'm in it.

So your scum is in Gimli/Kawaii/kokichi/black?

maybe good for meg?

I kind of just want the day to end at this point, I feel like I'm just tunneling my reads harder and harder.

I still think Gimli is a pretty terrible lim, I think the way he's played is the kind of inconsistency that comes more often from passionate town than scum with an agenda.

I still don't think Kawaii is town, but I think other people sound scummy and I'm happy to entertain the possibility that I'm just really tunneled.


I didn't like Mala's reaction to Gimli at all, I feel like when someone calls you out as a TPR people react in several different ways. I think the towny way to react, regardless of whether you'reTPR or not, is to kind of play into it, like giving a wink emoji or joking about your vig target or something.
I think Mala's reaction was pretty scummy, like Mala seemed really annoyed in a really obviously "I'm a TPR" type way. I get that this may seem unhelpful to talk about, but it was imo so blatant that there's no chance anyone missed it, so I'm just going to talk about it. I basically feel like if you are what you're softing it doesn't make sense because you would not want to actually react in that way, and it didn't feel at all like a VT trying to take a bullet, so I think it was just scummy.

I thought STD's reaction to Gimli a few pages ago was pretty good, I got the vibe from it that they actually believed what they were saying and weren't defending themselves just for the sake of defending themselves.

I really, really, really don't like kokichi's continual defence of "I literally can't be Kira" because it relies on the premise that followers would have just hard defended them facing an early D1, and the fact that no one did is clearing.
I don't really think this is something kokichi actually believes so it just reads as false.

Other than that, my non updated reads are that I think black and lorne are town and everyone else is null.

more spewing kokichi as not kira. defense of std seems a bit exaggerated, but i dont think its necessarily +kira for std either. vanderscamp has been hard tring town too.

koki is never kira
hpe looks good cause vander pushed hpe
meg also looks okay
std and lorne feel more likely as the kira to how vander played the game.

[Gimli]

actually the hpe push by vander is quite minimal, I'll re-check at some point to be sure it makes hpe less likely kira.

[Black]

Is StD Kira?

First I think it will be helpful to look at all interactions and mentions of StD from Vander, a confirmed follower

#236 - the first time Vander acknowledges StD. In this post Vander is asking StD what his thoughts on Kokichi are. This could be follower trying to gauge where his Kira stands on a slot. What I find weird is StD already made it clear how he felt about Kokichi in #191 so why is Vander trying to get more here? For what it's worth, StD doesn't answer this question. Instead he just votes for Kokichi in #282
#378 - Vander agrees with StD here about Kokichi probably not being Kira. Not much to gain from this I don't think. Could be a follower trying to force another interaction with his Kira so that he doesn't seem too distant
#763 - Vander asks StD why he doesn't think Lorne or mala could be Kira. This feels similar to 236 above where it feels like Vander is trying to figure out StD's thoughts on people. Kinda feels like subtle PR hunting and Vander asking the one person he knows is scum their thoughts. StD answers this in #762 and says that he TRs mala because of the way she has handled herself
#771 - Vander asks StD to elaborate

even more

and says he doesn't understand the mala read despite ALSO townreading her two times earlier for behavioral stuff. This implies Vander understands the TR but he's trying to get more information out of StD. He's PR hunting
#784 - Vander asking StD why mala can't be scum here
#1029 - Vander still pressuring StD about the mala townread. Very odd stuff considering he townread two of mala's posts earlier. These last 4 interactions seem very forced so that when someone goes back and looks at them they can say "Vander pushed StD, no way StD is Kira". This isn't pushing at all. It's Vander begging StD to elaborate on a TR
#1059 - Vander disagrees with StD that Gimli might be a follower to Kira!Kawaii
#1080 - this one is short and I think pretty important so I'm posting it: "I was potentially moving to Mala/kokichi/std today until that post" ......wait what? Vander actually says here that he was considering "moving to StD" after no previous expression of suspicion or anything. The only thing Vander has been saying in regards to StD is how he doesn't understand StD's mala TR. This is clearly distancing throwing StD's name in here
#1091 - Vander says he suddenly remembers why StD townread mala. Yeah...ok...

The next post is Vander's reads list. I've bolded and highlighted the part about StD:

I kind of just want the day to end at this point, I feel like I'm just tunneling my reads harder and harder.

I still think Gimli is a pretty terrible lim, I think the way he's played is the kind of inconsistency that comes more often from passionate town than scum with an agenda.

^^
This is really weird btw. Extremely shallow read on StD. Just a few posts before this Vander was "considering moving to StD" today but here he's just like "uh I like StD's reaction to Gimli a few pages ago"

These are all the interactions from Vander to StD. My first reaction is I can't believe HPE has cleared StD over this

I think I want to look at HPE to StD next

[Black]

hpe looks good cause vander pushed hpe

Yeah my current guess is StD Kira, HPE/Vander followers

Not confident but that's what I'm feeling atm

[Black]

Vander's entire game toward StD was trying to get StD to elaborate on his TR and then when StD finally did, going "oh ok yeah I remember that now"

[Gimli]

It's a tone thing it has to do with her zzzzzz and ..... posts coming from liberated town free to do what they want rather than scum that have to care about what they say

Actually I do think I remember you saying this before, my bad

I'm sorry for questioning you mr kira

lmao I can totally see it

[Black]

Do your ass an ISO read and you'll see that

StD and Vanderscamp agree like, once

. Vanderscamp calls StD's reaction good and then

most of their interactions are disagreements

,

Vander including StD in solve lists for Kira/Followers

, and

by the end during twilight just openly saying that he thinks StD is a Follower to a lying Kira!Mala

. They have zero synergy, yet nor are they keeping distance.

Wait, this is extremely telling from HPE here. It clearly did the research (or knows what it is talking about) regarding Vander/StD interactions. This is seriously why you don't think StD could be Vander's Kira? It's the most surface level thing you could possibly say about someone in a reads list. There isn't even a read here...it's just "I agree with one thing StD said".

It was a few times actually

They don't have many interactions at all and I wouldn't say that most of them are disagreements. You can read my post on StD a bit ago but most of the interactions were Vander trying to get StD to explain his mala read and then going "oh ok I remember you saying that" when he finally does

He actually TRed StD in 1451. Also what are you saying here really? I don't see StD in any solve lists for Kira/Followers, can you point these out?

Where did this happen??

[Black]

HPE's defense of StD is what is sealing the deal here for me I think

[Black]

VOTE: StD

[Save The Dragons]

ugh

you're making this so boring

should i make it interesting?

[Black]

Beetlejuicing is pretty interesting

[Save The Dragons]

i think i will

have i got a surprise for you

or it shouldn't be a surprise if you're paying close attention but anyway

[Save The Dragons]

i'm literally at the mercy of work

[Save The Dragons]

eh who cares

i am not kira

i'm the other follower. that's why i've been non-committal and slinking in the shadows.

it's too easy for you to just mislim me. but more fun for me if you can try and figure out who kira is. i bet you can't. but i'd like to see you try

[Save The Dragons]

gimli was right i was picking whichever side of kawaii/gimli had more traction lol i'm pissed i wasn't more careful

but was i bussing kira? hmm. probably not. but you never can tell for sure...

[Black]

Wait what lmao. You expect us to believe that?
